Cabinet Refinishing in Montgomery, IL

Is refinishing right for your Montgomery cabinets?

Painting existing cabinets is a smart move only when there is something solid to paint. Once we confirm that, our crew pulls each door and drawer front, labels it, bags its hinges, then degreases, sands and fills every face. Bonding primer comes first and cabinet-grade enamel second, both sprayed for a level surface. Boxes stay put, painted in place behind plastic and paper.

We cover Montgomery in Kane and Kendall counties, coming in on Route 30, Route 31 and Orchard Road along the Fox River. Before we talk color, we look at whether the cabinets can hold paint at all. If your doors have a vinyl wrap that is peeling at the edges, or the boxes are particleboard that has swollen near the sink or dishwasher, paint will not hold and we will say so. When the wood and boxes are sound, refinishing is a good use of money, and the estimate shows you exactly what it covers.

What a Montgomery refinish includes

A real condition check

We look at the sink base, the area around the dishwasher and the door edges before we recommend painting anything.

Doors off and tracked

Every door and drawer front is labeled to its spot, and the hinges and pulls go into marked bags.

Surfaces cleaned and sanded

Grease is cut with a degreaser, then every face gets a scuff sanding so the primer bonds.

Dents and gaps filled

Dings, chips and open seams are filled and sanded smooth before any coating goes on.

Primer and enamel, both sprayed

A bonding primer goes on first, then a cabinet-grade enamel, both sprayed for a level surface.

Reinstall and adjustment

Doors go back on their own openings, hinges get adjusted and drawers are checked for a clean, even gap.

How we work a Montgomery cabinet job

First comes a free look at the house, and the written estimate says plainly whether refinishing is the right call and what it includes. Hidden problems behind a door get a written price, and nothing moves until you say yes. Dates, including the days doors are curing and part of the kitchen is off limits, are set before work begins. A walkthrough at the end catches anything that needs adjusting.

FAQ

Cabinet Refinishing in Montgomery: questions

Can you paint cabinets with a peeling vinyl wrap?

Not over the peeling wrap. Once the wrap lifts at the edges, paint on top of it will fail along with it. In that case we tell you the doors need replacing, and we can price that or point out which pieces are still sound.

Do you work in towns near Montgomery?

Yes. We refinish cabinets in Aurora and Oswego too. Call or text (815) 585-1750 to set up an estimate.

How many days will the job take?

Several days, and part of the kitchen will be out of use while the doors and drawer fronts cure. Your estimate shows the count, worked out for the number of pieces you have.

Is a permit needed to refinish cabinets in Montgomery?

For refinishing alone, a permit is not normally part of the job. If the scope grows to include plumbing or electrical, we find out what Montgomery requires and pull the permit before that work starts.

Can I get an opinion from photos first?

Yes. Text photos of the doors, the sink base and anywhere the finish is lifting to (815) 585-1750, and we will tell you whether refinishing looks like the right answer before we come out.
